F.... Melbourne

They only won tonight because the umpires allowed them to dispose of the ball incorrectly when tackled or challenged. It happened when they played West Coast over here a few weeks ago. I suspect the AwFuL has told the umpires they want the famous Dees in the grand final. Corruption CENTRAL.

Silly post, bad decisions went both way. You will not see any worse decisions in football than the 2 ‘below the knee’ frees paid to Hawthorn in the last quarter.

I’m happy for the Dees. You should think of maybe taking the tin foil hat off.

Not sure about the frees, hawthorn got a few dubious decisions to get them back into the game.
I’m not a fan of Melbourne but good on them, that’s the problem with our club more worried about other clubs than us actually getting our s*** together and going deep into finals.

Agreed. I’m happy for the Dees.

Just because we’re rabble, doesn’t mean I wish the other success-starved Vic clubs to be just as bad, if it not worse, just so I can feel better.

Ambivalent about Melbourne but quite had enough of the “Roos saved the World” love in on Fox.

I respect your opinion but in my opinion we should take a leaf out of there book get a decent coach , recruit players that can use the footy & the rest will take care of itself.

Go Demons, I hope they can go all the way. I'd rather see them win than the Skunks, Wet Toast, 9thmond or GWS. If you don't like Melbourne who like us have been in the wilderness then go soak your head in a bucket of shyte.


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

To see that smirking Roos and stupid Eddie egging the supporters on makes me want to vomit.

It’s quite embarrassing really to think that only a few years ago we were tracking alongside Melbourne, and probably slightly ahead, and now we couldn’t be further apart.

Desist with the condescending smart arse retorts.

Games are won by what happens in the crucial moments. I can recall far too many crucial moments tonight when it all went Melbourne’s way umpire assisted (exacerbated by Hawthorn also shooting itself in the foot as well).

I’m looking forward to Kennedy, Darling, Ryan, Rioli, Jetta and The Frenchman tearing them a new one next Saturday

I'm also bitter and petty ... go Eagles! Why? For a selfish reason. If Dees go all the way and win a flag ... we will often hear the comment ... "Oh the poor old Saints - the only Melbourne team that hasn't won a flag since the '60s."

Yeah it has & they could kept going in the same direction but to give them credit they actually realised they needed to get better & bit the bullet & recruited the right coaches & players to get them to where they are now & we can do the same but it takes time & you need the right people in control to make the right call's but unfortunately at moment we don't.

Odds published for next Saturday. Eagles $1.80 AFL favourites $2.00. So the green maggots will have to intervene a bit to satisfy corruption central’s wishes.

Melbourne are going nowhere. They are bullies, throwing their weight around whenever they get on top. The trouble with bullies is that, without fail, they are almost cowards when truly challenged. Wait and see..

Why the vitriol goose.
If the umpiring splits favoured either side it was Hawthorn.
